The city of Arlington's annual Easter Egg Hunt returns on April 15.

The event will be held at the Arlington Airport Field again and participants should enter at 51st Avenue and 172nd Street.

The egg hunt begins at 11 a.m. and is free.

Parents can bring their camera to get pictures with their children and the Easter Bunny. Arlington's police department and fire department will also likely be available at the event to show local kids their emergency vehicles and other equipment and visit.

About 12,000 Easter Eggs will be hidden around the Jennings Park barn and the park's garden on April 15 for Marysville's annual Easter Egg Hunt.

The day is for children age 8 and under, and there is a limit of eight eggs per child.

The event will be at Jennings Park and runs from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Extra parking is available at Marysville Middle School and parking is usually crowded for the day. There is no charge for the event.

"It's always fun to have families here. Children, parents, grandparents, and aunts and uncles come out, so it's really an event where the whole family can get together," said Andrea Kingsford, recreation coordinator for the City of Marysville.

"This has been such a long-running event that we now have people who come out that came here as children," she said.

The day also serves as a community get-together.

"It's an opportunity to see your neighbors and a wonderful way to kick off spring," said Kingsford.
